Stockholders, executive compensation, stock buybacksWhy?Those of us living in reality can now say that the corporate tax cuts were a failure that hurt revenue and did nothing for the economy. So the question is why? I think it likely has to do with the fact so many of our corporations are near monopolies. Curious what others think.
Trump handed big business a massive tax cut, and all he got in return was embarrassment
Two years after his administration passed a massive tax cut for corporations meant to spur economic growth, the verdict is in, and the results are embarrassing. The tax cuts did not "unleash animal spirits" (as the business media is so fond of saying). And it did not usher in a period of 3% GDP growth(as Trump's administration was so fond of echoing).
The plan did not — by any stretch of the imagination — "pay for itself with growth and reduced deductions," as Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said it would back in 2017. In fact, the US budget deficit has grown by 50% since Trump took office.
Because they just keep the money
Kept it where?
The money did not go towards creating new jobs, expansion or pay increases
And democrats say that unemployment stimulates the US economy70% of the GDP is related to consumer spending.Asshole ignorant Libtards are too stupid to know that the corporations are the entities that drive economic prosperity that generates the wealth that funds their filthy ass welfare state.
Consumers drive economic prosperity. There's no profit without customers. There's no demand when the bulk of consumers have no cash. Growth will be slow with low demand regardless of capital investment.
Not quite on point. Your bubble burst.It's funny how you have no real responses and just parrot yourself constantly.In 2000 wage growth was over 5%
The Internet Bubble was cool!!!
It's funny how you have no real responses
You think the wage growth in 2000 was unrelated to the Internet Bubble?
Looks like mine was an excellent, on-point response.
Bush had an average real wage growth of 4.9%
Obama's was 4.2%
Obama's was 4.2%
Link?
Prove me wrong.
Seriously?Chart isn’t clear. I see wage growth for Obama and trump,. Looks like it just followed the trend started under Obama.What are the numbers? It was increasing under Obama.LOL...
Trump's real wage growth is lower than the last two presidents.
Higher than Obama's.
I posted the chart. At least twice. Forget already?
Chart isn’t clear.

That would depend on wages. No?
If a guy goes from a fulltime job to Uber driver then no. Our "jobs" are turning into delivery drivers for rich folks.
It hasn’t hit 3.9 In a very long time. You have some imagination.It appears to have grown more with Obama . And clearly the trend started with Obama. No tax cut bump visible.

The tax cut was passed in December 2017.

How did the tax cuts “fail”?
You realize your fellow citizen Americans own these evil corporations you hate...right?
Your fellow Americans ended with more and your corrupt government ended up with less...how is that a bad thing?
Why would you want your government to take more from your neighbor?
Some Americans own stock. About 50% of Americans have no investment in the market so right off the bat, half the country is excluded from this benefit. Of the people that do one stock, 84% of it is owned by the top 10% of Americans.
So this benefit was highly skewed.

You weird Leftists harbor a very weird obsession with other people’s shit, holdings and achievements. You always seem to forget that opportunity is created by those who aggressively pursue it.
Wealth, like achievements is accumulated from intelligence, hard work, accountability, determination and ambition....all traits the Left hates.
Remember, we are not EQUALS...you can not and will not ever be my EQUAL....you have been grossly misled by your fellow beggars.

I know, 3.9% after the cuts.
Wage growth is simply poor.
But wages are nothing to boast about. As the first chart shows, wage growth has ticked up only slightly under Trumponomics. The average American worker sees a 0.2% fatter paycheck (not factored in for inflation) compared to the day Trump was sworn into office in January, 2017.
